Thanks! I haven't tested that scenario, I plug/unplug every day at home and at the office. I do quite a lot of sleep/wake cycles, but didn't have any issues. I sort of settled on StarTech because they were the only docks that were available here at the tail-end of the COVID lockdowns, etc. But looking at reviews of ThunderBolt Docks on Amazon et al., it seems I have made the right choice by accident, because so far both my wife and I haven't had any issues with the StarTech docks that we have. If I only knew that some models have Realtek NICs, I'd have paid more attention to getting the model with Intel I210. I guess I was expecting that 300 Euro docks that can use PCIe all have decent NICs.
