OK - here's the follow up I promised. Here's the iFixit guide to doing it: The available parts they list are only Apple's OEM 128 GB and 256 GB ones. It's a PCIe interface, but Apple does something non-standard where a pin-compatible module may not necessarily work. The only aftermarket ones I've heard that should work are from OWC and Transcend, and they're in oddball capacities (240/480/960 GB).
Here's OWC's parts: Transcend also has compatible kits (the JetDrive 820 or 825 with enclosure). You might want one with the enclosure to help with copying over your environement, but I'm not sure where they're sold.
