minus-squareQuinceDaPencelinkfedilink10•edit-211 months agoProbably 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.
minus-squareQuinceDaPencelinkfedilink3•11 months agoAgreed 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. Hard to beat the good ol’ floppy though 💾

An HDD is also a deprecated symbol
