Abstract
A device includes a housing comprising a device surface and an input/output surface. The housing includes a plurality of docking bays arrayed in a row adjacent to each other. Each of the plurality of docking bays include an input/output interface, the interface configured to receive a wired connection from a device to be investigated; a button on the input/output surface; and a light on the input/output surface, the light configured to communicate a status of the respective docking bay. An input/output port is connected to the interface of each of the plurality of docking bays and configured to connect the devices to be investigated with a computing system via a single connection. A power input is configured to receive a power supply, the power input electrically connected to the light in each of the plurality of docking bays. Wiring for the plurality of docking bays is disposed within the housing.
