There isn't a clean way to express what you want today.  There are some
ideas about being able to express local storage as volumes, but that work
is a long pipeline for what feels.like a simple request.

We already have an idea of "medium" in emptyDir.  What if we extended
that?  The question becomes how to express that multitudes of potential SSD
technologies, current and yet to be developed, without resorting to calling
them all the same?

You could imagine a way to config kubelet to build a map of local
mountpoints as named "Local" media, and then allow users to request those.
It's imperfect in a lot of ways, but it might be tractable.

@vishh @msau this comes up not FREQUENTLY but enough that maybe we want to
think of a short term goal here?

Just thinking out loud...
