^^ The real question is how much current can the hub provide per-port. At those speeds each one is pulling at least 2.8a and possibly just over 3.1a. If the Eyeboot holds to usb charging specs each port will be limited to a maximum of 3.1a.
The original
Gekkp hub had 3-banks of 2 ports with each bank fed by a 6a regulator - if just powering 1 in each bank it will happily supply that full 6a to it. The connectors may melt but that's what you get.  The new hubs use a single 25a regulator feeding each port through 3.5a resetable PTC e-fuses.
