+1. It is probably doable (see iFixit guides) but it's likely a world of pain
- I think they glue them together now. It'll also be pretty obvious that
you've opened it up, which might give warranty issues.

I wouldn't usually shy away from this type of thing, but I did pay Apple's mad
price for an SSD when I bought my new iMac in 2014. One of my criticisms of
Apple's 'form over function' way of doing things.
