In A project Needed to save the scanned image. Please guide Me What volume of files Can stored in Sql Server database(2005 AND 2008) That not lower speed OR You Have better suggestion?

It's pretty hugs, but it depends on which version of SQL Server you have - the Express version for example is generally restricted.
The "Normal" limits are here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432(v=sql.105).aspx[^] - there is a drop down for the different versions 2008R2 / 2008 / 2005

But...you will start to use server bandwidth pretty quickly if you aren't careful, which can slow things down a lot - I'd be tempted to keep them as files in a suitable HDD and store the path to the image in the DB instead. That also makes it easier to do regular (non SQL) backups, as you don't need to copy a single multi-terabyte file...
