US Patent 10901848 Storage systems with peer data recovery

Example peer storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide peer data recovery across a peer communication channel. Peer storage devices establish peer communication channels that communicate data among the peer storage devices. A storage device may identify storage media segments from their storage medium for recovery of failed data units. A peer storage device may be identified that contains recovery data for the failed data units. The recovery data may be received over the peer communication channel and the storage media segments may be recovered using the recovery data.
