I know it has been asked before but there's not much available via the Apple Store and the choice on Amazon is bewildering. I don't want to be repeatedly fumbling around the back of my new toy (first iMac) any more than I have to.
So powered or unpowered - I'm guessing powered? I'm also guessing USB 3.0 so as not to lose the advantage of the newer technology - but that really cuts down the choices on Amazon... in fact I can only see this one fitting the bill, and (a) it's not the prettiest and (b) it comes with various 'compatibility' warnings:

Compatibility
*NOTE* 2012 Mac Mini and 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display are currently not recommended for use with this product. Compatible with USB 3.0 hosts, Windows 8 and earlier, Mac 10.8 (see note below), and recent Linux kernels. The hub requires no driver install (although individual devices will, as usual). Compatibility notes:
* 2.4Ghz wireless devices, such as wireless keyboard and mouse adapters, may not work in close proximity to USB 3.0 devices or hubs. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port is recommended.
* Some USB 3.0 devices require a direct connection to host USB 3.0 ports, including some USB 3.0 hard disks.
* On sleep, Mac OS X 10.8 disconnects USB hard disks attached to USB 3.0 hubs. We recommend connecting directly to your Mac or disable sleep.
