A docking computer storage system has a plurality of docking bays for receiving laptop computers. A male USB-C connector is provided at the rear of each bay such that, when a laptop computer is inserted into the docking bay, the male USB-C connector in the docking bay will automatically engage a corresponding female USB-C connector on the laptop computer. The male USB-C connector is disposed on a floating subassembly which enables vertical and horizontal relative movement of the male USB-C connector within the docking bay. The floating subassembly has self-orienting inactive 'dummy' male connectors configured to engage one or more female connectors on the laptop computer other than the USB-C connector. The self-orienting inactive 'dummy' male connectors cause the male USB-C connector of the docking station to be properly aligned with the female USB-C connector of the laptop computer.
