But since it's a program from the same developers as CCleaner, Recuva and Defraggler, we can only expect it to improve! Speccy Portable is still in beta development and lacks extra features we find on other similar tools, such as performance tests or a list of installed software, etc. If you spend 40 / £40 you’ll get CCleaner Professional Plus, which does a tremendous job of cleaning your systems and that package. And Piriform is not and exception in the least.The basic data displayed by Speccy Portable can also be found in some specific areas on the Windows system, but Speccy makes it easier for you by gathering everything in a single interface and providing more details. The best value comes from embracing Piriform’s other products. This seems to be a disturbing trend that is only accelerating. Folks, there comes a time when a piece of software IS FINISHED and needs no further updates. This seems to happen when developers are making changes just to make them and especially when they are groping for ideas to justify their very existence. I don't know why more and more previously working programs (speccy never had this problem before) are now being broken. While I don't know all the details I can tell you this isn't good for SSD. But 6 disks like he has and whoaaa!!! 800megs!!! Additionally he said something about it erasing and re-creating another windows log file over and over again. He said that one or two disks isn't that bad. He said that the log can grow to hundreds of megabytes overnight! Imagine that! The more disks you have in your system, the worse it is. It increases by a few KB every second and shows no sign of stopping till you exit the program.

If you simply start the program and let it sit, it builds up a monster-sized log full of useless and repetitive information.

A colleague of mine d'l the latest version of Speccy from Piriform and discovered that it hammers your main disk big time.
