Use this guide to upgrade or replace the solid-state drive in a MacBook Air 13” Early 2014. This MacBook Air uses a proprietary storage drive connector, and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter.
Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. Then, either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data to the new SSD.
Finally, we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Air. Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to High Sierra.

Fairly straight forward once you get the right screwdrivers. Took me less than 10 minutes.
Very simple and straight forward replacement. First-party SSD replacement can be found on ebay (typically removed from parted-out MacBook Airs). Currently they're aren't any third-party parts available.
The Relevant Parts list all has incorrect links. Bait & Switch??
Examples:
"$199.95 Macbook Air 11" and 13" (Mid 2013/Early 2014) SSD, 256 GB"
Actually supplies: 128GB USED
"$349.95 Macbook Air 11" and 13" (Mid 2013/Early 2014) SSD, 512 GB"
Actually supplies: 256GB USED
Whoops! Looks like we didn't update the details on those parts when we updated the part itself, sorry about that!
