Running Calibre off a NAS or any sort of networked drive is an unsupported configuration Many, including myself, have made it work but if things go wrong in that configuration you will not get much support.

I have in the past successfully had Calibre running with the database held locally and the main library files on the NAS. However in my experience it was significantly slower than holding all the files locally. I now run with the library held locally and make regular use of FreeFileSync to back it up to my NAS instead, and like you I use a RAM disk for temporary files.
