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

Satechi USB-C On-the-Go Multiport Adapter – 9-in-1 Portable USB Hub – Compatible with 2020/2019 MacBook Pro, 2020/2018 MacBook Air, 2020 iPad Air, 2020/2018 iPad Pro https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08X1YVCZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_79YWPFRTN1HZ45NWN4TW

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

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.
