Affordable USB Hub that supports External Harddisk

[maverick121]

Im looking for a USB hub under 500INR that supports external harddisk.Should i look for a usb hub with external power,or can i get a cheap one under 200 will it support external drive.Provided that i plug in only the harddisk at a time.My main requirent is a hub on the table to prevent reaching on the back of the cabinet to plug in the usb devices.

Better get an external powered one like from Belkin (don't know how much it costs)
Those which draw power from the USB port shouldn't be used for hard disks.

Belkin F4U016 comes with a power adaptor and costs 449 on amazon Belkin F4U016 4-Port USB Desktop Laptop Hub with 4: Amazon.in: Electronics

but i dont like its design.While this hub from enter comes with an adaptor and has 7 usb ports and will rest neatly on the table

Enter 7 port Hi-Speed USB Hub Extension - Buy Enter 7 port Hi-Speed USB Hub Extension Online at Low Price in India - Amazon.in

But i dont know if its reliable.
