Speccy presents lots of information about your PC’s hardware: info on the processor, info on the RAM memory, info on the graphics card, and lots more.

And now that Speccy has been updated to version 1.24, it also presents information on the USB devices connected to your PC. You can get the latest Speccy version right here on FindMySoft.

Speccy is an immensely useful tool for PC users who want to get an “under the hood look” at their machines. Run the application and it will present lots of information on your operating system and on all your PC’s hardware: CPU, RAM, motherboard, peripherals, network, and so on.

One thing Speccy did not cover was USB drives. But this is now a thing of the past – hence the past tense I used in the sentence. You see, Speccy has recently been updated to version 1.24 by privately owned software house Piriform, and the main change Speccy 1.24 has to offer is support for USB drives. There are, of course, several other entries on the list of changes for Speccy 1.24. You can check them out below.
