A non-volatile memory storage system including a connecting interface, a non-volatile memory, a buffer memory, a microcontroller, and a virtual host module is provided. The connecting interface is used for connecting to a host. The non-volatile memory is used for storing user data, wherein the non-volatile memory further stores an expansion read only memory (ROM) image to be read by the host. The buffer memory is used for temporarily storing the expansion ROM image. The microcontroller controls the operation between the connecting interface, the buffer memory, and the non-volatile memory. The virtual host module provides an activation code in the expansion ROM image to the host through the microcontroller. Thereby, both the size and the fabrication cost of the non-volatile memory storage system can be effectively reduced.
