You can get upgrade kits, not cheap though:

Or eBay to find someone selling an OEM replacement for cheap (cheap doesn't seem to exist).

There must be adapter cards out there because there's eBay listings like this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/256GB-SSD-for...-/221867260365

Which seems to be a normal m.2 SSD taped to an adapter. I think the 2013+ MBAs use PCIe SSDs not SATA ones like mine.

This MIGHT be the adapter, but it seems tough to find the right adapter and right SSD.

One reason I went for it was I saw a youtube video of a guy with my exact laptop, and the exact SSD I purchased, and he linked the exact adapter I needed which I ordered, plus the SSD was on a decent sale so I could probably get rid of it if I had to for no loss. Otherwise I might not have tried this whole DIY it way.
