MacBook Air Mid2012 SSD upgrade

Any suggestions on how to upgrade to an ssd for a MacBook Air (mid 2012). I was curious if anybody has tried the new Samsung 960 Pro/Evo M.2. Is it even possible to upgrade to this SSD? Thanks!

MacBook Air, iOS 10.2.1

I wasn't able to find anything to indicate that one is viable for any MacBook.

The following is one very well respected source that does support the mid 2012 MacBook Air: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/macbook-air

kaz-k and FoxFifth have provided the two relevant links. I recently upgraded mine using the OWC (macsales) drive. Their website has a good video demonstrating the upgrade and the kit includes the tools required. I choose the bundle with an enclosure for the SSD I replaced so I now have a fast SSD external which I'm now using as my emergency boot utilities disk.
