A non-volatile memory device includes a plurality of memory blocks. Each of memory blocks includes a main area including a plurality of first memory cells having a phase-change material and a spare area including at least one second memory cell for storing initial information about the plurality of first memory cells. In the non-volatile memory device, a circuit of the at least one second memory cell is cut off according to the initial information, and the initial information is defective block information that is information about a defect of the plurality of memory blocks.
