Need to replace my internet Fusion Drive.
Recommended a specific External SSD Drive that's need to be used as a Start Up Disc and a USB 3.1.
Please see link and the recommendations.
The problem that I cant find this disc for fast shipping.
Can someone please recommend an alternative SSD Drive with the same compatibilities
?
Thanks.
Use an external SSD as your startup disk … - Apple Community

What does "internet Fusion Drive" mean?
Get a name brand SSD and you should be fine. The message you quoted is a standard disclaimer for liability purposes. We like Samsung T7 but that's just a personal choice. They come with USB -A and USB-C cables.
The cable you need depends on the year of your Mac (which you did not state) ... either USB-A ("standard" old USB) or USB-C for Thunderbolt type ports. Many drives come with both; check the drive's description. USB-C will give about twice the speed of USB-A. But only if you can use the USB-C cable.
Fast shipping is determined by who you buy the disk from and their shipping policy.

I have iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, late 2019)

not only yes you can, actually you should do so to take full advantage of the external SSDs speed.
An NVME M.2 drive in a TB enclosure would provide the fastest external drive. That is what I use on my 2019 iMac.
