In my experience CalDigit docks are really solid. The only issue I've ever encountered is caused by my laptop demanding more power than the dock will provide: when I hit a power usage spike sometimes my laptop will briefly drop connection with the dock, causing my display to momentarily lose signal.

This is easily fixed by plugging my laptop into a separate USB C power supply.

Same. I’ve had great luck with both the TS3+ and TS4. What few minor gripes I’ve had with them have been resolved by firmware updates.

It’s other brands, especially USB-C (rather than Thunderbolt) stuff that I find extraordinarily flaky.
