Example peer storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide data scrub using a peer communication channel. Peer storage devices establish peer communication channels that communicate data among the peer storage devices. A storage device may identify data segments from their storage medium for a data scrub process. A peer storage device may be identified that contains corresponding data segments to the data segment being scrubbed. A corresponding lock command may be sent over the peer communication channel to lock the corresponding data segments during the data scrub process. A data scrub error report may be generated from the data scrub process. If an error is discovered during the data scrub process the storage device may use the peer communication channel to retrieve recovery data from peer storage devices to rebuild the data segment with the error.
