  1. Depends on your budget, just make sure the hardware is fast enough to saturate gigabit ethernet (1000Mbps) else everything slows down if you transfer huge files and many random access at the same time. 2 bay should be good enough for raid1 redundancy but having 4 bays are future proof for upgrades. 

     

    If space is not and issue, you can use a old desktop I3 gen 2 above and install freenas.

    A sad, but very predictable outcome to this horrendous crime.

    My Sympathy to all Victims, Families and their Friends.

    BUT, a really serious question has to be asked.

    How, in Gods name, was this man able to drive out of an Army Barracks in a stolen Humvee kind of Vehicle, and fully armed with a Gun / Guns and an obviously large amount of Ammunition.

    It is well known that Security at these places in Thailand is poor, because of the stream of reports about Grenades, Machine Guns , Arm Caches, Etc being discovered hidden in ditches Etc Etc Etc.

    But this tragic event takes the poor Security to a whole new level.

    He was in the ammunition department so he had a the access needed.

     

    The army should rethink of using the funds for upkeep instead of buying more submarines. You can't go to war if your personnel can't even think straight.

  3. i have a question
     
    and no sorry i dont know where to buy a 32gb stick i just know as stated the higher you go its always more expensive than the same capacity pairing in the lower size
     
    so my question is you have an  octane stick
     
    but this laptop also ships with a 5400rpm 1tb hd 
    and thats what it looks like in the photo
     
    so what is your hd and where is the os installed 
     
    to save me responding again if you indeed still have a 5400 and its got the os throw it away install an ssd
    because regardless the 5400 everything waits for that
    also pull out the dvd and get a dvd slot hdcaddy 
     
     
     
     
    OS​ installed in mechanical drive. Optane only used for caching. Honestly, SSD is never been cheaper so I don't know why notebook vendors still bundled Optane with mechanical drivers. Maybe to clear stock and it makes no sense.

    No faster than a car then.....  It usually takes me about 2.5 to 3 hrs to drive to Hua Hin from central Bangkok (about 200km).
     
    Theoretically its possible to achieve Bangkok to Hua Hin times in less than an hour, but I fear this will not happen. At 160kmh its possible in 1.5 hrs and this may attract some without a car, but the convenience of the car and not having to stick to a schedule for many outweighs a 1.5 hr time difference.
     
    Usage may increase when Bangkok becomes a city less dependant on cars, with congestion charges significant enough to heavily limit traffic in the capital. 
    If you drive middle of the night. With the ongoing constructions on Rama 2 road, it takes up to 4-5 hrs especially coming back to Bangkok.

  5. Yes - the "problem" is it is a "different system."  The new "biometric" bits are probably also a "different system."  Why not hire a decent IT team to build a complete-system that actually ties together all the pieces?  It hurts my head to think of how their databases are structured (or "not structured").
    That's the beauty of bureaucracy here. .. Create more systems to benefit the cronies and get some kickbacks in return. Doing more things = hiring more staff = more wastage. All done to make life harder for foreigners here and suck as much money as possible. I have stayed in 3 foreign countries and the others is not even close in terms of hassle just to renew visa. Imagine the number of papers you need to submit every year. Paper factories, printer makers, ink makers, photocopy shops all will be laughing and happily pocket more from the poor foreigners here!

  6. Fortunately this is not required at some offices. But to your question, they want to know where you went after leaving the airport. As the owner of the condo, you need to report when a foreigner stays there, that would be you.
    I questioned them what's the point of filling the address in arrival card and 90 days notifications, they told me its a different system even though handled by immigration. Oh yeah, I need to report to them I staying at my own place. This place is a joke, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry :) Anyway they would love to collect 800B fine for this, wouldn't they? Just make up some stupid rules to exploit the long term foreigners here.

  7. Not only me, but all the applicants today are surprised with this new requirement and there was another 80 queues for TM30 when we took the last queue at 3.30pm. The officers doing extension could have told us from beginning that TM30 I needed so we don't waste another 3 hrs for that. Finished TM30 at 6pm, fortunately the O extension officers waited for us to finish it off. We also argued that their website is not updated with this requirement but as usual nobody gives a damn and happily cashed in another 800B. What a joke.

    What Immigration Office?
     
    Re the answer to your question above, of course it's because you're a shady criminal in waiting who's clearly on the verge of some serious offense to national security like jaywalking or slamming your house door too loud.... :clap2:
    Chaeng Watthana. Got all my documents ready and being told at the end I need to do TM30 due to strict enforcement. Took another queue and wasted 3 hrs more.
