Well all the devices I plan on plugging into the enclosure's USB ports have their own power supply.It will likely depend upon whether or not the drive enclosure is providing power to the hub ports. If so, I would expect your suggested setup to work fine. If not, I think any devices plugged into the hub ports will need to be powered.

Airport Extreme Base Station & USB Hub
I know that you can connect a USB hub to the new Airport Extreme Base Stations. I was wondering if it would work if I connected a external drive that had a built-in USB hub. What I want to do it to connect the external drive that has the USB hub in the enclosure, then connect another drive and a printer to the hub that's with the first drive. Would that work, or would it be better if I just connect everything to a standalone hub and then connect that hub to the base station?
