The 'spinning rust' bit actually matters less than you'd think. Calibre loads the metadata db into RAM at startup (so startup would be a bit slower), and searches and such are done on the in-memory copy. So only bulk updates would be slower, and you're not likely to do all that many of those.

RAM and CPU are more important, and 8GB RAM probably is pushing it with 1M database entries.
