title: Does BLOB for large amount of data suit good?
body: <p>I have an application which retrieves large amount of records. These records, each of them, contain a file, size averaging 5 mb.  </p>
  
  <p>I have 2 options of storing the records:<br>
  1. store the files as BLOB type content in DB<br>
  2. store the files in a system and the name of the file in DB.  </p>
  
  <p>The amount of data I will be storing is around 200 GB per week.  </p>
  
  <p>I am pretty confused, please help? Which of the above should I choose?</p>
