The Samsung ICR18650-30A cell is very good 6A discharge 18650 battery cells for usual application. It has max discharge current 6A, capacity can reach 3000mAh if charge it by 4.3v, this cell provides high capacity good performace at relatively unexpensive price. You can charge it with normal 4.2v charger and it will release capacity more then 2700mAh while you get better cycle life.
But this 30A/30B battery not for rapid charging really, if you charge it with 3A current the cycle life falls very fast.

9. Safety
9.1 Overcharge Test
Test method: To charge the standard charged cell with 12V and 2.8A at 25℃
for 2.5 hours.
Criteria: No fire, and no explosion.
9.2 External Short-circuit Test
Test method: To short-circuit the standard charged cell by connecting positive and
negative terminal by less than 50mΩwire for 3hours.
Criteria: No fire, and no explosion.
9.3 Reverse Charge Test
Test method: To charge the standard charged cell with charge current 2.8A
By –12V for 2.5 hours.
Criteria: No fire, and no explosion.
9.4 Heating Test
Test method: To heat up the standard charged cell at heating rate 5℃ per minute up to
130℃ and keep the cell in oven for 60 minutes.
Criteria: No fire, and no explosion.
*Note: There is very small difference(can be considereable as the same cell) between 30A and 30B as below:
Samsung ICR18650-30A
Charge Voltage: 4.35V
Nominal Voltage: 3.7V
Discharge cut-off voltage: 2.75V
Capacity: 3000mAh
Max discharge current: 6A
Samsung ICR18650-30B
Charge Voltage: 4.35V
Nominal Voltage: 3.78V
Discharge cut-off voltage: 2.75V
Capacity: 2950mAh
