is it possible to replace an 128 GB Solid State Drive with an 240 GB? (MacBook Air, 11", Mid 2011)

Does anyone know if the Samsung 960 pro 512gb m.2 drive is compatible with this machine?

Mark - Réponse

No, is not, I just bought a 1TB Samsung 960 EVO m.2 and had to return it, for not being compatible. (is smaller and the pin-out is not the same)
