Usb hub

[iCharlie86]

What is best usb c hub for ipad pro. Need it for external 2.5 hdd (classic hdd no ssd), hdmi, 3.5 jack and it would also be nice if it have had Ethernet port.
Looking for something stable, price is not in first place.
I have ipad in smartbuddy case so hubs that can be attached to ipad will not work for me.

thanks

CalDigit USB-C Pro Dock - 85W Charging, Thunderbolt 3, UHS II SD Card Slot, USB C Gen 2, USB A x 3, Dual DisplayPort 1.2, LAN, 3.5mm Audio for Thunderbolt and USB-C Computers (0.7 Meter Cable - Gray) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VL675DT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TFLkEb0579F3J

I have this, I can attach either my iPad
Pro or 12” MacBook with just a single usb c cable, it charges my device, I have a 28” Samsung 4K monitor attached to the hub via DisplayPort, I have my audio interface, a Focusrite 4i4 3rd gen plugged into the hub, with that I multitrack record vocals and guitars into GarageBand on either device and get no noise in recording from the hub. Also has sd reader, multiple
USB ports, another usb c port, this thing is expensive but I can continue using it for many years with any usb c device.

I recently bought Uni's 8-in-1 hub and have been happy with it so far. Important factors for me was firstly a detachable USB-C cable so I wouldn't have the hub with a measly 2-inch cable hanging off the side of my iPad Pro 12.9, and secondly a metal case for better heat dissipation since all these hubs with power delivery (PD) get quite warm. The hub is frequently available @ AMZ for less than $40.

The Uni hub comes with two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2 port, Ethernet, HDMI (30Hz), USB-C Power Delivery and the usual SD/micro SD card readers.

So far I've used it with a 2.5" portable HD (spinner), a 2.5" SSD (Samsung in external enclosure), using the HDMI port and the SD/microSD card readers - no hiccups so far.


Another option that met my criteria is TwelveSouth's StayGo hub, but that's quite a bit more expensive ($80-$100). The much higher price was also what ultimately made me go with the Uni 8-in-1.
