how much large is your data.

According to BOL


text

Variable-length non-Unicode data in the code page of the server and with a maximum length of 231-1 (2,147,483,647) characters. When the server code page uses double-byte characters, the storage is still 2,147,483,647 bytes. Depending on the character string, the storage size may be less than 2,147,483,647 bytes


if its larger then that , i will suggest you to store in a text file and store the file path in a varchar field .and work with your way with code.
