I have 3 Western digital my passport ext. HDD 320gb , 500gb and 1tb.. can i connect all of 'em to a single usb hub to save some usb in my case, its kinda crowded back there as i use a lot of wireless stuff.. will it go crazy and burnt out or is it ok?

Your plan will function assuming the external drives are powered by wall power, not usb power.
But.... performance will be poor when two or three are operating concurrently.
You might be better off attaching your wireless stuff to the usb hub.
