you store the data in both the ways.

If you store images and files in database, the database will become too bulky. if it is only text then store it into database.

So its better to use it in file system.

File system is always faster the your database.

Initially database will be faster but as the size of database increases it will get slower automatically.

You can perform on test. create a file on a system. insert the same file into database. we can observe the difference.
