you purchased and I couldn't find one that fitted your description exactly.
That said, if the hub that you purchased has its own power supply, then the way to connect your Maxtor is to plug the hub into the computer and the maxtor into the hub.
Theoretically, the Maxtor will now be drawing the power it requires from the USB port on the hub which in turn is getting its power from the power adapter.

I have a Lenovo laptop with several USB - A ports.
The external drive gives me some trouble starting and I was advised that the power in the USB ports might be insufficient to run the drive.
So I bought the Belkin hub.
The Maxtor Blackarmor external drive has only one port:
a USB mini-B, for both power and data.
The Belkin hub has 4 data USB - A ports, a power USB - mini-B port, and the power cable.
How do I connect the external drive to get more power to it and the USB port on the laptop?
Seems to be only 3 options:
1. external HD to laptop, and the cable from the hub power USB - mini-B port to another USB on the laptop.
2. external HD to the hub, and the cable from the hub power USB - mini-B port to a USB on the laptop.
3. external HD to the hub, and USB - A from the hub to the laptop.
Which is going to work? Or is there another way?
