You can buy a 3rd party drive such an OWC Drive, you simply follow the ssd replacement drive. if you are on Mojave or High Sierra you also have the options of a NVMe Drive from Samsung, crucial or various other companies, you will need to buy an adapter too. Please see the guide below for a link to the adaptor.
- using an NVMe can cause kernel panics with hibernation.****

SamSung 860 EVO Solid State Hard Drive will work for MacBook Air E.2015 ?
should work fine as long as you have the M-key adaptor too. Be advised that some NVMe drives can cause hibernation issues, I have a crucial drive and have not seen this. It can also be remedied by turning off hibernation.
From a Terminal, use the following command to disable hibernation:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
If you later want to enable hibernation, use:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
I don't recommend using M.2 drives in MacBook systems. Its best to stick with the original Apple SSD's or using either OWC & Transcend 3rd party drives which are fully compatible.

I agree with @danj these adapters just aren't reliable. I understand you wrote the guide for doing it but I believe it is very ill advised.
I know there has been kernel panic issues posted around different forums for NVMe Drives. I have not had any issues with this upgrade. I used both products linked in the guide. But I do also know that a different vendor of SSD could change the results. I am happy to post any extra support material to help improve the guide. But for some individuals turning off hibernation in order to save a significant amount of money on an SSD may be a worthy trade off. Having an extra option with knowledge of the potential issue, does not harm anyone. But the options/risks/costs need to be laid out. @tuan170 Like I mentioned in the original post there are more tried and true options like the OWC drives.
