it's a good question, generally we accept it as one of those interface elements that's universal, but kids these days wouldn't know what it represented. I suspect it's something that will bug icon designers for years to come.... It's challenging convention.
if they're saving onto the cloud maybe a cloud would work, but saving locally needs something that clearly represents the device or action that's happening.
A hard drive is too unrecognisable, perhaps a folder is too unspecific and could be confused with another action.
For me icons need to be understood immediately and without explanation.
