Hi all, since ya'll are self hosters, I'm sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, "go to" brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power accessories, hubs & docks, flash drives, you name it! I'm sure it varies depending on exactly what type of equipment you're looking for but just looking for overall good brands to stick with for such things. I obviously know the main ones like Anker, Cable Matters, Ugreen, maybe Belkin, Idk. Would love to hear your recommendations! Thank you

Yea I've read Caldigit is the gold standard for docking stations; a bit pricy for me ATM though. I think I shall get a dell dock, which should work good with my dell laptop :) What about cables and adapters and chargers? have any specific favorites for those types of things?

Besides Nitecore for various battery types and cameras I don't have a preference as long as it's a quality brand so I don't fry anything. I am waiting for higher output GaN chargers for USB-C specifically. I have yet to find any though if anyone else knows of any.

I need to look into GaN chargers. I keep hearing about them but not too sure why they're so popular

As far as I care or know about they're just incredibly small for how much power they can output.

I hear Ugreen has a real nice one, but you're probably already aware of that.

I think I've seen the company in the past but wasn't really aware of them. Sadly their one port output still only maxes at 140W with the GaN unit. Thanks for the tip
