A solid state drive (SSD) assembly and an assembly method for solid state drives, which does not require using screws. The assembly method includes aligning a printed circuit board with a first cover and a second cover, the first cover having pre-installed standoffs on an inner surface thereof. The printed circuit board and the second cover respectively having a first set of through-holes, and the first set of through-holes correspond to the standoffs. The assembly method further includes placing the printed circuit board between the first and second covers, thereby exposing an end portion of each of the standoffs in the through-holes of the second cover, and deforming the end portion of each of the standoffs about the through-holes, thereby fastening the first and second covers with one another.
