First, make sure your laptop bios is up to date. Updating should be a simple matter of downloading the naked bios file, put it on a fat32 stick, boot into bios and use the built-in flasher.

You could set up a winToUSB drive to run the WD firmware update tool.

The other way to look at it is to stick the drives into a usb enclosure. That gets you away from the PC's 3v3 rail. If you then hang the drive enclosure off of a powered hub/dock, you are definitely way outside of the PC's power supply problems.

Here's one that I have, hopefully it's still made halfway good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G14NBCS/

So they called it an "Orange Pi", but it is not an ARM SBC.

That's an interesting choice.
