I can access everything normally on this drive, add and rename files, and play videos with no problems or lags. My Calibre libraries are backed up, both to the cloud and to my Raid 0 NAS.
I guess the next step is to close Calibre, move the libraries to a different hard drive, and then point Calibre to the new location.

having the Library on external rotating drives is not that unusual .
Try to avoid using it on a USB Hub. The throughput can suffer with (cpu side)port traffic
Be sure to exclude the Library folder from a A/V scan (this may require you to assign a permanent drive letter. I used
