    For USB Hub under your budget, try this Rosewill RHUB-300. I think it has everything you need. :p

    You need to make sure the USB hub has an AC adapter if you're going to run that much off it. The 2.5" HDD alone is going to take up almost as much power as a single port on a laptop can provide to the entire hub.
