No way 30 Amps.
You're right, my math was way off and I'm no electrician. It's more like 8 Amps.

I still use mine any time I dock it. I have a 2011 iMac and MBP and an Elgato thunderbolt dock. My iMac runs off of external SSDs ( using seagate docks). These docks have two thunderbolt ports ( for daisy chaining) that feed the Elgato and the Elgato has a couple usb3 ports and a couple thunderbolt ports., so I can essentially connect my MBP to the dock and have access to the SSDs, USB 3 drives, and also target mode if I want to use the iMac for the display. The dock also has HDMI out so I can also use my other monitor if I want.Off-topic: I'm really frustrated to how Thunderbolt 1/2 have been ditched in such a short period of time. I have two of these ports on my laptop and won't be using them in the foreseeable future...
