One of the guys who has done a lot of work to understand their performance is Jeff Geerling. I have put a link to him in the Resources section of the PinePhone software page as well.
TL;DR - Samung Evo+ (and my 64G is faster than my 32G is faster than my 128G IIRC at 4k writes!)
Getting the Evo+ is almost impossible. It's superseded by the (weaker) Evo Plus. On Amazon, you see quite often pics of the Evo+ but Evo Plus in the description or the other way around. My local store does not sell it.
The situation on newegg was even worse. Pic and description were Evo+, but a reviewer said that was not what he got.
Now A1 and A2 cards are becoming more popular ... but they seem to suck on Linux https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/Knowledg...D_cards.md
The more I know about micro SD cards, the less I know which to buy
