You are really simplifying at how memories or the brain works - we (IT workers) tend to think of memories as just some information that can be written down, stored and replayed. But the mechanism is much more different. You would need the specific brain to make any sense of it. You can't just upload some memories to a different brain for playback - these memories need to be formed in a long and slow process, same like you can't just upload some muscle mass to your body with a device. The same goes for retrieving memories, you can't just ask the brain to dump all the memories into a device. These memories would need to be "relived" (retrieved) by the brain at normal speed and this would be a tedious process. Unless we could do a scan of the whole brain at a single time and scan every single state of a cell (and then also build an interpreter device). There is a lot of biology behind memories and interaction with the whole body and chemistry to make it work. You can't rip memories out of the body because they are part of the whole system and they don't make sense outside of it.
