I don’t think there ever can be a better icon. Some are experimenting with a down-arrow pointing to a flat surface, but the floppy fisk is much better.
Agreed but given the symbol for an SSD would be a rectangle or a rectangle with a plug at the bottom, I think HDD would be the most recent tech that would convey “save” when used as a symbol.

Probably the closest one is an open HDD but still. Good UI should not require explanation and everyone recognises a floppy disk as “Save”.
Same as if I want to send domething and see a paper airplane.
An HDD is also a deprecated symbol

Hard to beat the good ol’ floppy though

Thats downloading clearly. Which could be synonymous with saving of course in some way.
Every time you download, you are saving. But not every time you save, are you downloading.
There is an icon that Adobe has with an arrow pointing down into a folder, and I think that works pretty well.
