@Katsunami : Could be, but as you say that would make everything horribly slow - not just transiting out of editing metadata.

IMO Calibre should fly on a USB3 HD plugged into a PCIe USB adapter - as it it does here. If it doesn't then ...

Calibre has an environment variable for redirecting the location of metadata.db - CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH. Maybe using it to separate the db and the books onto different drives might shed some light.
