Windows 10 Laptop Question
When I insert an SD card, it is not recognized. If I remove it, restart and reinsert it, it is recognized. Any thoughts on how to correct this problem?

Sounds like an external Raid 1 would be easier in your case. You won't have to save data twice to have a mirrored backup. They're straightforward to setup.
I built an external Raid 5 for my iMac-i9 for 4K digital work. No still photography. Though Raid 5 can support faster data rates, you do lose some drive space allocated for parity.
My camera can record on SD or CFast cards, though prefer 1TB compact SSD drives which it also directly supports. That way, I can connect the SSD drives directly to my iMac and begin logging/editing footage, while the source files are being simultaneously backed up. Don't have to wait to first transfer to the Raid.
BTW, I would not recommend using Drobo enclosures. Every one my organization has bought ended up failing. One near fatal instance for our photographers, where their Drobo somehow managed to corrupt the partition table. I was able to rebuilt the table so they could recover all 4TB of their photos, followed by promptly disposing of the Drobo.
