I've got my PM1735. TL;DR: I don't think it's a matter of drivers or support.
Here is a quick benchmark (vs. 970 pro, Linux. The PM1735 is plugged into a pcie 3.0 x8 slot, NOT 4.0):
Kdiskmark is just a GUI for FIO.
Here is a SX8200 Pro (windows 10): Screenshot_20210113_233604z.png
Now I read a couple of threads by people complaining about its performance and/or lack of drivers, but I think one has to understand that this is an enterprise drive. Note how good it is w.r.t the 970 Pro (mlc!) when lots of processes ask for great deals of scattered random data.. It's almost 3X faster. Something similar stands for seq perf..
On the other hand, it fares bad at Q1T1.. It's NOT a desktop oriented ssd...
The SX8200 pro is quite the opposite.. Great at 4KQ1T1: typical desktop ssd.
In short, if you need an indestructible ssd (dwpd 3, guaranteed 5 yrs), and with very good high-load performance, go for it.
If you need a desktop drive with 10X less endurance, buy some 980pro.. It will be waaay faster in typical desktop scenarios.
