Save to OTHER (connected) disk(s).

These may be your Device, a memory stick you want to give away (non-copyright violation, of course ) or a Backup storage device.
Not all devices transfer books the same way (or the way you want to do it)
My device (PEz) is fully supported by Calibre. Save to device does not offer the flexibility I want. (I save the Catalog and references to internal, all else to SD card), so I use Save To Disk.
I have done 2 things to make that easier: 1) I reserved drive letters P:,Q: for my device (Windows), 2)I Labeled the drive partitions so they are easy to locate.

Calibre works with just about anything you can connect.
Some features are not needed for your particular usage. Someone else may need that feature for their device.
