What is this binary data you are storing? Have you looked at Jackrabbit? Have you thought about just using java.nio and perhaps Lucene fro indexing? Definitely consider the above questions as well, look at the bigger picture.
Actually we were initially using plain files to store the data. It turned out to be more efficient to use SQL to store them because the glut of smaller files caused issues on NTFS.
But I consider NTFS to be a legacy filesystem. On modern filesystems like ReiserFS, it would probably be quite efficient.
