iMac 24" external storage advice

[Stephen.R]

oh ok, thanks for your time.
Now I have a clear situation on the storage options that I can choose from.

Probably I'll go with the USB-C SATA SSD enclosure + SATA 2TB SSD and, if needed, I'll do TRIM it occasionally by placing it in my old netbook and using a linux live USB.

It’s possible it (trim) would just work if it’s a single drive.

In one of my machines I use Softraid and it enables trim even on usb 2.0 connected SSDs.
It's a little expensive but you can try it free for some time (1 month).
