Ketamine has been with the lab since the beginning, when Phil came to Yale in 2009.
It began its life as a Mac Pro 4,1 with a quad core processor and HDDs.
It has since been upgraded to Mac Pro 5,1 BIOS with a dual hex-core (12-core) Xeon Processors, 1TB NVMe storage, and 96GB RAM.
And it can still burn CD-Roms!

Software Updates
We use OpenCore to keep MacOS up-to-date and extend the life of this now vintage machine.
As a result, WiFi and Bluetooth no longer work as of OS X Catalina.
Storage
Archival data from 2009-2019 is stored on the Drobo Pro, which may be connected to Ketamine via FireWire800, USB2, or iSCSI via Ethernet.
