I can confirm that the new High Sierra public beta nvme support works for booting and running a Samsung 960 EVO nvme drive in my 2015 Macbook Air. It requires a sintech adapter or clone (amazon) which are made to make the 80 mm m.2 ssd fit exactly into the original apple ssd space. Replacing the drive requires a 1.2mm penetalope screwdriver AND a T4/T5 torx. If you look around amazon you may find something that has both.
You will need to make a time machine backup to an external drive and also have room to put the high sierra installer on another usb drive to install it on the ssd.
During installation you will need to format the empty SSD to an apple readable format using disk utils, then you can install High Sierra on the drive. Transfer your information
Total cost: $155
Total time: ~8.5 Hours ( ~4 hours to make time machine backup, ~ 30 minutes to swap the drive. ~1 hour to install High Sierra, ~ 3 hours to restore from backup)
Happy Hacking!
Edit:
I started getting kernal panics in the nvme driver today when I put the air to sleep. I will do some digging to see if there is a fix.
But it does work fabulously with this iogear bt adapter.
