It lives on a 4TB WD Black spinning platter drive. I moved the database to an empty 256GB SATA SSD drive, made no discernible difference to library performance, so I moved it to my 512GB PCIe M.2 system SSD, start times went from ~8 secs to ~4 secs, otherwise no discernible difference.
I figure the most I would gain from keeping my library databases on a high end SSD would be a minute or two a day. Needless to say I won't be bothering.

Thank you for the info.
I've probably got very unusual usage patterns. I don't use Calibre GUI on a daily basis but when I do use it, it's to do mass import, metadata changes (from local data) and copying. I think I spend like 2-4 hours working with the library. Even most of my conversions are I/O limited. Hence, I actually do store my full library on SSD and not just metadata.db. I tried moving my library (well, Calibre Portable) to HDD and iirc, it doubled my processing time.
