Any SSD upgrades other than the OWC Aura for the MacBook Pro Retina 13'' mid-2014?

I am trying to upgrade the SSD on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13'' mid-2014 (MacBookPro11,1). The usual advice is to use one of the OWC Aura models. However, there is a slight problem:

It would seem that this specific model of MacBook Pro is incompatible with using this line of SSDs with Windows, which is particularly an issue for me as the entire reason I got a larger SSD was for Windows development, as I was running out of space. Is there is any alternative SSDs that I could use that are compatible with Windows on this model of MacBook Pro? Is my only option to find some used model of an original Apple SSD, or is there some way to buy new ones from Apple? Thank you.

Hi,

Mid 2014 Retina display 13inch MacBook Pro uses PCIe based SSD, so you can get them at Amazon or other PC shops.
