I've been eyeing the Caldigit USB-C Pro-Dock but couldn't help but notice some of the more critical reviews on Amazon so I got some questions for the owners-
More specifically, there appears to be an issue whereby if you use the Ethernet port on the dock and you sleep/wake the Mac, this brings down the whole LAN and WiFi with it? Is that (still) the case? Is there a workaround for it? Would using a USB3-Ethernet adapter on one of the dock's USB ports bypass this issue?
Additionally, could someone confirm whether running multiple, maybe 2 or 3 max, external portable drives (USB-powered ones, such as WD MyPassport, I got some spinning ones and some external SSDs) works without some of them randomly ejecting due to lack of power?
I would be using this on a 2016 MacBook Retina so only one USB-C port there (and not even a Thunderbolt 3, but that's fine - only 1 external monitor).
Thanks!
