Is there a small device that would be simple to stake multiple coins at once? I have 6 or 7 right now I would like to stake and several more I plan to aquire.

you beat me to it.  just use a USB HDD for the blockchain storage.  Rpi is cakework for staking machines.

If you can get a free VPC (AWS or something similar), then you can use that sort of service as well.  I believe Max Lee uses VM's on the web in datacenters for his staking wallets.

i have had troubles with raspberry pi in the past
i used to stake solaris coin but after 20 to 24 hours raspberry pi used to shutdown automatically
there was no thermal or any other issue and it also took a lot of time to open the wallet
i also would not trust any private vps to hold coins for me and stake
a simple second hand laptop can get the job done with charger plugged in and battery removed for long term staking

You should also be able to use the ol' Intel Compute Sticks for staking and other Atom-based PCs as well; I got a nice mini Windows PC with a Z3735F processor for around $35 from China about a year and a half ago and it works fine for staking. I can also find new Compute Sticks selling for $35 and up (cheaper ones run Ubuntu) on eBay right now if you're looking for a small device for staking. They work pretty well for other purposes if you choose to stop staking with 'em too.

Yeah, Atom PC's work well too;  but the most ECO and $ friendly solution ive found is using a RPi.
