I use a 64 G SD class 10 to store my raw images(24mp) and a 32G Jpg on my D610.
If I plan to take a trip and do not want to carry two many chips, can I use this unknown brand 256G mSD which sells at $16

I understand the risk could be too many eggs in one basket.
I would like to hear your experience of using mSD on camera and this kind of 256G mSD .
I think using mSD chips has an advantage, which can be just inserted into your smartphone or tablet and view them; then I just need 1 256G and 1 16G mSD for my trip.

Every review I read on it says, 'Beware, it is a scam!' Some say it deletes your stuff, others say it only holds 2 gb, etc.

Why not purchase an SD card not an MSD . The micro is small and easy to loose, also spend a few more dollars and by a know brand, in fact buy an extra for a backup, when traveling in other countries it always a hassle to find memory cards in an emergency.

If I always use the 2 chips on my camera, there is less chance I will lose them.
I agree its is better to have better name brands as I have purchased some 16G & 32G no name brands, and transfer video files to it. Only about a few are usable even though it shows that the transfer is successful.

I would NOT touch that card with a ten foot pair of tweezers!
Look at what brand name 256Gb cards are going for ≈$100. They want $15??? No Way!
I use Sandisk. I have three 16Gb micros that I keep in SD adapters.
I won't put all of my eggs or marbles in one basket. My largest right now is 16Gb. They were on sale at a great price a year or so ago. I have five 8's and three 16's (and a 4Gb that I use for playing around. I'm sorry, experimenting.).
I can shoot over 2,500 RAW+JPEG using these cards, which are in a waterproof card wallet (case).

Wow! I took a 2 week trip to Vietnam and I didn't fill a 32GB card and I shoot uncompressed RAW + JPEG. My camera is about 4 and 1/2 year old and my shutter count is about 5200.

i completely agree.

Let me make sure I understand. You want to know if it’s a good idea to put ALL the shots from a memorable trip on a small (easy to lose), no-name brand X memory device that costs 1/6 the price of a reputable supplier and is 8x the size you need? Really?

The correct answer is to purchase several of the best (non counterfeit from a reputable dealer) 16 or 32GB Sandisk, Lexar or equivalent quality SDs and test them before you leave.

Your punctuation keys are not working.

Than to try to figure out where sentences end and how much of what is part of which sentence? I sure do!

I have one, what's your excuse?
(Geeze, I tried to be nice by saying your punctuation keys didn't work (humor), instead of saying you can't punctuate a sentence worth a crap, but... )
We're done.
