THink there is a thread on macroumers.com where people have done this and moved thier media onto it. Some seem to work fine but others break when you cut off the USB part.

Macsales.com is about the only viable option i saw when i was looking into it for a client a while back; was around £250 to get a 240GB drive delivered (inc import duty/tax).

Edit - they also do a kit that includes and external aluminium usb bay for the original SSD drive.

Apple do not provide any service for upgrading internal SSDs are far as I am aware, specially not the Macbook Air, its regarded as non-upgradable

If your Macbook Air has an SD slot, you could get a NiftyDrive and a few 64gb MicroSDs for considerably less than it will cost to replace the internal SSD:

Sorry I can't help but please don't call it memory... you're talking about storage, not RAM.
