These are two distinct requirements. Are both really requirements or is
one "nice to have"? The "best" solution for "a large amount of disk
storage" isn't "not having the physical storage attached to the db
server". If you use non-local storage it will be slower and more
expensive, quite likely by a large margin. There may be other advantages
to doing so, but you haven't mentioned any of those as requirements.
