Where does SharePoint store the real files?

When I add a new document in SharePoint (like a Microsoft Word document) where exactly is the file (binary data) stored?

In an MSSQL engine? (BLOB?) On a hard drive as a native file?

Somewhere else?

By default, it is stored in the SQL Server Content Database associated with the site collection. However, Sharepoint 2010 does support storing list data as BLOBs in external storage.

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748607.aspx for more information.
