Field notes

Sandra is the kernel driver for SiSoftware Sandra, one of the oldest and most comprehensive PC benchmarking suites. Sandra has been a fixture of the PC enthusiast world since the late 1990s, used to measure CPU, memory, disk, and GPU performance in a way that requires low-level hardware access.

The driver is on the public LOLDrivers list because the hardware-access surface it provides for benchmarking is broader than what a locked-down system would ideally allow. If you have Sandra installed for benchmarking, the driver is expected. Keep the suite updated to the current version.
