They must be very big images or there must be an awful lot of them :-)At work right now I have a bunch of 2-3 TB databases using Oracle 8. We're expected to be using 60 TB in total storage about 2 years down the road (right now we're using about 20).
I guess GIS databases and image databases might be the ones who would be more concerned about these sort of limits in the near term future?
Here's a recent sizing done on our image database project:
"60,000 images, thumbnails and personal data are occupying about 1.4Gb of disk space in the database. So we can figure roughly 250Mb per 1000 entries, or 25Gb per 1 million."
These are simple facial images, of about 7k each - thumbnails are about 3k each.
