[TRON:Legacy] Why did Sam Flynn create a copy of The Grid at the end of the movie?

At the end of the movie, before he motorcycles out into the sunrise with Olivia Wilde, he is seen unplugging something from the huge computer and wearing it. It looks like a fancy SD card, or some other memory storage device (and even has the design of the original identity disc). So if it was a memory stick, why take a copy of the grid with him? And what do the residents of The Grid see/feel when that data goes from the PC to the storage device?

That was a whole universe, a universe that created artificially intelligent persons. To destroy that would be unimaginable the technology, the people, everything all blinking out instantly. 

I imagine they are in a sort of stasis, the data is not being used just stored. No processor to crunch out where the bits are and everything remains stationary, if you were on the grid you would feel anything. Time stops and when its uploaded to a computer the simulation picks up right where it left off.
