Make a duplicate for your desktop for when you bring the other one with you. Keep the drive on your person at all times. If you're going to the pool at a hotel, put it in the hotel safe.
I would just point out that, if you have a USB or SD card connected to a device that is connected to the Internet, a hacker can access the data on the plugged in card. The only advantage is that you can unplug the card when you don't need it. But, if you leave it plugged in, you may as well just store the data on your internal hard drive.
