A calibre library is a folder of folders of folders and many files - not a single file. Can you elaborate of what you do.

No antivirus when the books disappeared. Installed one yesterday, and no virus was found.
@madeleinelevy - As I understand Time Capsule it inter-operates with Apple's Time Machine. And I'm pretty sure Time Machine can be set up to synchronise continuously.

In that scenario Time Capsule/Machine would essentially be doing the same on your local network as services such as Dropbox, OneDrive etc can do across the public wide area network. The 'official' recommendation is to pause those services whilst calibre is in use, restart them when done with calibre and don't restart calibre until they've finished synchronising the data.

I suggest you adopt that recommendation for your Time Capsule/Machine installation for a while to see what happens.

I doubt its the SSD, those problems with some early models would probably be manifesting with other data, not just calibre libraries, I assume you have things other than ebook libraries on it
