Yes, I tend to use either the Sandisk Extreme or Samsung EVO lines of SD card. There's also been a big rework of the MMC subsystem that landed in 4.16 that moved to the block MQ kernel infra which should help performances, and will also enabled the use of HW queues on supported HW eventually so there should be improvements seen in F-28 for SD card performance.
