I have had a D-Link DUB-H4 powered USB 2.0 hub with four connections and it appears to work just fine.

I like my Belkin 7 port powered hub. It's USB 2.0, and it takes up very little desk space.

is it powered?
where did you get it?
if you have an external hard drive hooked up, does the speed dip?

I called it a "powered hub," so yes, it's powered. I got it at CompUSA, but it's available elsewhere too.

Here it is.
