Our Story

Our vision is technology should not be hard. With that vision in mind, Do it Yourself Solid State Drive was founded to be the best resource to those who want to upgrade their storage with an internal or external Solid State Drive.

What are Solid State Drives?

Solid state drives (SSDs) are a type of non-volatile storage media that store persistent data on solid-state flash memory. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that use spinning magnetic disks, SSDs have no moving parts. This gives them key advantages like faster read/write speeds, lower power consumption, increased reliability, and superior resistance to shock and vibration.

Our mission is to be a resource to computer enthusiasts and professionals alike who want to upgrade their devices with additional storage by providing an easy to use online platform that aggregates specifications, price, and availability across retailers.
