Solved Question about USB extensions on my laptop

[jrj350]

My laptop has four USB connections.
Three are located on one side of the computer, and the fourth is on the opposite side.
I would like to buy a four-connector USB extension and place it in the back of the computer, so I don't have all the wiring coming out of the side.
My question is: Can I connect three external devices to this type of an extension,or will that have a negative impact on performance?
Thank you

Should be fine I would use something like this has it's own wall power. Amazon.com: Plugable® USB 2.0 10-Port High Speed Hub with 12.5W Power Adapter and Two Flip-Up Ports (Terminus Technology FE1.1s & 2.1 Chipsets. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux support. Full USB 1.1 backwards and USB 3.0 forwards compatibility): Computer

@oscer1 -
Thanks for the reply and the excellent advice. I was not aware the self-powered hubs were available. You put me on the right track.
Again, thanks a lot
