I'm doing a PHP script on FreeBSD which servers multi-TBytes worth of
content mostly files ranging in size from 100KB to 600MB. Similar to a
file-sharing sites where users upload their pictures/videos/binary
files.

I'd prefer a simple storage system but not fimilar with large storage
as this. I'd prefer to serve the files in URLs in this format:
http://archive.site.com/$FILENAME

I'd have 4x FreeBSD servers (local LAN linked) each with 6x 500GB SATA
hard-drives (RAID5 array) totaling 12 TBytes storage between the
servers.

What would be your recommendation(s)?
