Samsung accidentally published the product page of its upcoming SSD 990 Evo NVMe with marketing and hardware characteristics. While Samsung is mostly known for making top-end SSDs like the 990 Pro, the 990 Evo is a mid-range SSD with read and write speeds of just 5,000 MB/s and 4,200 MB/s respectively.

But the 990 Evo’s biggest advantage is its dual-lane PCIe 5.0 support, which allows it to retain normal bandwidth. The only limitation is that the data connector has two lanes, in which case the PCIe 4.0 SSD will only be able to use two lanes.

Perhaps these PCIe 5.0 lanes will be useful for some scenarios, but for consumer drives it is difficult to imagine how necessary they will be.

Additionally, the 990 Evo offers only a modest boost over its predecessor, the 970 Evo Plus, which was already a fairly fast SSD for its time and overcame the limitations of the PCIe 3.0 interface.

However, the 990 Evo NVMe SSD is a mid-range product and should be priced lower than the flagship 990 Pro. Unfortunately, as of today, Samsung has not yet provided pricing for its new drive, so we can only guess how much it will cost.

However, Samsung has continued to develop its Evo lineup since the 970 Evo Plus in 2019 and now supports PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 in the new 990 Evo NVMe model. It remains to be seen what Samsung will offer in the future.

Ghana needs this restructuring to receive from the International Monetary Fund a second tranche of the $3 billion in aid promised last May.

According to sources cited by Archyde.com, donors are expected to discuss the timetable this Monday. They must in fact agree on a “ deadline », the one following which the new loans will not be restructured. This date has become a stumbling block in the discussions. Some creditors would be in favor of a restructuring of the debt contracted before December 31, 2022. It was that month that Ghana defaulted. Others would prefer March 24, 2020, the date the G20 kicked off its debt service suspension initiative. But Ghana did not participate in this mechanism intended to give a boost to the poorest countries at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In any case, this is only a portion of the debt weighing on Accra. Bilateral creditors hold regarding a quarter of Ghana’s twenty billion dollars of external debt eligible for restructuring. Last October, BNP Paribas considered the renegotiation with private players more uncertain.
