Powered 3/4 Port USB 3.0/3.1 hub for Raspberry Pi

Cool Buddy

I recently bought a Raspberry Pi and I wish to connect two portable hard drives to it as I'm using it as NAS and media server. However, it seems the Pi cannot handle two hard drives with its own power supply.

Please recommend a 3/4 port powered USB hub which supports USB 3.0 and is reliable.

I'll be buying online, so a link would be much appreciated.
If possible, I'd like to buy something with 1.5k. However, I would prefer reliability even if I have to exceed the budget by a bit.

I have the orico one and backfeeding is a problem, you can sort of fix it if you black tape the current delivery pin in the USB.
