Is it possible to replace the hard drive for a 2013 MacBook Air? Where can I purchase a new hard drive?

If not, is it possible to run it with a portable hard drive?

I purchased it in 2014 (refurbished). So, it's probably 2013 model and not under Apple Care. Apple customer service told me that my hard drive has crashed.

Does Apple sells hard drives?
