You'll be less happy when the NAND wears out from running an OS tuned for enterprise HDDs.


osx is not tuned for enterprise HDDs. In fact I don't think there is any OS tuned for enterprise HDDs by default in existence.


Server OSes are, and pro software development could definitely involves some server VMs, or a lot of compiling.


Server OSes are not tuned for enterprise spinning rust drives by default. If not mind pointing me towards a "server OS" image I can download right now that will destroy SSDs out of the box?

Besides even if that were the case. People have no issue running these "server OS" on their laptops which almost always contain an SSD.
