Swap SSD's 2017 MacBook Airs?

[eightball8]

My wife's old macbook air drive just quit. Won't boot - folder with question mark - boot into recovery: no drive showing - target disk: no drive showing.

I'm assuming her SSD is the issue.

Wondering if there's any reason I can't swap that SSD into another 2017 macbook air to see if it's the drive or the something else.

Any reason I can't swap these in the same way one would an old hard drive?

Haven't had to troubleshoot an SSD before - any tips guidance - greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

2017 MBAs still had removable SSDs so you should be able to.

Thanks, sadly swapped it and same result. Wouldn't boot or show up in the other Macbook Air - looks like the ssd is fried.

You can use a NVMe drive in the MacBook: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/upgrading-2013-2014-macbook-pro-ssd-to-m-2-nvme.2034976/
