Zstd is terrible for archiving since it doesn't even detect corruption. The --check switch described in the manpage as enabling checksums (in a super-confusing way) seems to do absolutely nothing. You can test by intentionally corrupting a .zstd file that was created with checksums enabled and then watch as zstd happily proceeds to decompress it, without any sort of warning. This is the stuff of nightmares. After all these years, RAR remains the best option for archiving.
