If your looking for a market for a thunderbolt 5 dock - here is a good one.

caldigit seems to be better on paper, but real life reviews aren't promising.

This thing is massive, and it has a fan inside.
We tested it during load, and the fan can get noisy.
But, what worried us the most is that fans break, and with so many connections a fan inside a dock is just a bad idea.

Go for CalDigit. They have real support, and actually answer their phones.

Your SOL if anything from Anker breaks outside of warranty. Their only recourse is to replace, or tell you to kick rocks. This is not a brand that I would trust for a dock.

a cord fell apart. It was like 18.5 months of their 18 month warranty. They replaced it but when it arrived , it was the wrong item. I put in another order myself on Amazon. They said they could take 20% off that order which was like $2. Oh well
