Calling it a "Writable Layer" might make slightly more common sense.
"Saved State Layer" is pretty good, but then what about people who don't
understand the idea of state? It is also a bit harder to translate.
A word for 'persistence' that has a close-enough meaning for the
layperson is 'permanent'. If it is important that we convey it is a
'layer' rather than an ambiguous 'space'/'area':
"User data and system changes are saved to the Permanent Layer."
