Should the sd card that RP4 is using align?

[lancelot96]

Today, I use parted to check my RP4 sd card partitions.
And I found that both boot and root partiton are not aligned.

(parted) align-check opt 1                                                
1 not aligned: 62500s % 2048s != 0s
(parted) align-check opt 2
2 not aligned: 500001s % 2048s != 0s

Thus I want to know if partition align is necessary, can it improve sd card performance?

Thank you!

I know it does improve performance for SSDs and RAID, but I guess for sd cards it is not necessary.
