found a number of sources that basically agree on one thing - Databases are good for small files ( < 256KB) where as file systems are better for files larger than this.


Sounds like a rule of thumb gone mad. It would be crazy to store ISO-files in a database, I'll agree to that. There is no limit in size to determine whether or not to store data in a database; it's more appropriate to consider the type of data and it's usage.

There are various pro's and con's for both;

Pro Filesystem
* Simpler maintenance (manipulating files through Windows' Explorer is easier then SQL)
* Auto-integration into your Google Desktop Search / Whatever filesystem-indexer.

Against Filesystem
* Harder maintenance (filesystem rights, networking issues etc)

Pro Database
* Full-text search available, as well as an easy option for replication
* Ability to add auditing easily, as well as file-comments, tags etc.

Against Database
* Files aren't linked to the Active Directory
* GDS/Windows Indexing Service doesn't look "inside" the database to index your files

For both options; don't forget to add a backup-strategy.
