I run Calibre on a SSD, BUT, I put the Library on a separate hard drive just because of concerns you mentioned!

This will allow Calibre to do its sorting, converting, etc. on the SSD, but the actual files (I just did a conversion of over 900 PDF files to EPUB/MOBI) remain away from the SSD.

I "think" this gives optimal use of the speed of the SSD, but reduces the reads/writes of actual file data on the SSD. If you also follow some of the online SSD "Optimizations" for installation and setup, you also can see how to force caching, User Data Files, and other oft accessed stuff onto the hard drive to reduce reads/writes to the SSD.
