Repeat after me:
Storing files inside of the database is just a Bad Idea. You are much better off doing something like the following:
NOTE: /var/media/ could be a local volume or a remote-mounted SAN. You choose. Now, you can partition the files across multiple servers. You can store the files on a SAN and have (many) dummy file servers in front of it. This is (basically) how wikimedia does it. And just look at how many files they have. Storing the files inside of the database is just Not How It's Done.
