Some cards do not support NTFS format.

I am seeing the same thing with the SP3. I havea Sandisk 64 gig card. I did not see this issue with a 32 gig card. What is the size of your card?

Is your card micro SDHC or SDXC?

It is highly recommended to format them with this:

This is a known problem for various Surface devices, and I've seen reports involving a wide variety of brands and sizes.  I've been unable to pinpoint what the specific problem is.

 

In my case, I had a Lexar 633x 128gb card, UHS-I/U3, 95 MBps, which seemed to be the fast I could find, that kept unmounting under certain circumstances (connecting a USB hard drive, flash drive, etc.).  I replaced it with a SanDisk Ultra 128gb (48 MBps), which has performed flawlessly.

I'll give this a try. Thanks
