I got this instead of the caldigit, which was out of my price range.

This is the one we recommend at work to 90% of people. Only a few people need the CalDigit... the Saitechi is great

That’s good to hear, it’s got all the connectivity options I currently need in a smaller form and having the option to run an Ethernet cable when downloading or uploading big files has been a lifesaver a couple of times..

We've had some issues with the "dangling" ones at work with at least 4 relatively new MPBs needing new boards after some unspecified USB-C port failure. Where someone was plugging directly into a "normal" style dock (big block on desk) or directly into a monitor, we have had zero failures of that type. It might be coincidence but the ones like you linked are classified as "travel only" now, not daily use.
That said, my travel one looks like this as mine was one of the ones that popped.

Currently have a 1920x1080 hp monitor connected via hdmi, run laptop power into it, and charge my MacBook Pro through it, also have my wacom tablet via usb running though it as well and still have two usb c ports and another USB port free to plug stuff into..
It’s been fine for the 6mths or so I’ve had it.
