I like MySQL, and I'm fairly new at it, but if I were to need to store and 
retrieve tens of Gb's, I would want an IBM AS/400.  Base configurations are 
quite reliable, and you can easily add RAID and other types of redundant 
support, up to and including redundant machines.  I work with numerous 
hospitals and it is their preferred platform for storing their 
financials  (AR/AP/GL/Payroll) as well as their medical records.

I will stress that this is my opinion, and I realize that it may not be a 
popular one on this forum -- You are, of course, entitled to yours.
