Possibly the wrong terminology in the title

If I have a 4 port USB 3 hub plugged into a USB 3 port on a desktop computer - - -

Can I plug 2 or more USB 3 drives into the hub and get USB 3 speeds on all devices?

Lets assume all the devices are externally powered via a wall socket. Depending on the response to this question, I might ask another later :-)

I'm guessing that the speed will be decreased the more drives are connected and transferring files at the same time.

But this is just for interests sake. I'm not having any issues at all.

Any hardware experts out there?

Cheers,

Paul
