About

Empowering gamers, content creators, and computer enthusiasts

At Do it Yourself Solid State Drive, we are passionate about high-performance consumer storage upgrades. Whether you're a gamer seeking lag free game play, a content creator editing large media files, a programmer needing to reduce compilation times, or simply want to breathe new life into your aging rig; we've got you covered. 

Our Commitment to Excellence

Innovation is the cornerstone of our philosophy. Our mission is to provide you with the information required to make informed purchasing decisions. We continuously push the boundaries of design and technology to enhance the user experience of our site. Our team of web design experts and data scientists work tirelessly to incorporate the latest advancements to ensure the best possible user experience.

To accomplish this goal we provide comprehensive technical product specifications, purchasing analysis, and the tools to perform pricing comparisons from our affiliate retailers. The best price and your satisfaction is guaranteed when shopping at retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Newegg. We also blog on industry news and how-to guides.

Quality is non-negotiable. Catalog and pricing data is stored at Airtable, the leading provider of online data services. Airtable primarily stores its data in data centers located in the United States, leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) for its robust and secure server infrastructure. The website is maintained using an innovative solution named Ycode which is hosted in the Google cloud.

We harness the power of AI extensively and responsibly by using tools such as Perplexity, OpenAI, and Gemini for content creation, as well as for data analysis and validation. For visual content, we employ Midjourney, Adobe Express, and Adobe Photoshop to generate and refine images. Video production involves the use of Adobe Premiere Pro, Midjourney, and Kling AI for creating and editing videos. Additionally, we utilize Minimax to produce voice-overs, which are then refined using Adobe Audition.

We completely understand the challenges you're facing when it comes to upgrading your storage. It can feel overwhelming to make such an important decision, especially when you're juggling other responsibilities and don't have the luxury of time to dive deep into research.

Many of us have been there – feeling pressured to make a quick choice, perhaps grabbing what seems like a good deal, or going with our instincts. While there's nothing wrong with hoping for the best and relying on return policies as a safety net, we want to help make this process less stressful for you.
