code first approach with images

Hi , I was looking at this and wanted to store images

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4653095/how-to-store-images-using-entity-framework-code-first-ctp-5

they suggested using this as a code first approach

public class Product
{
    public int Id { get; private set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public byte[] ProductImage { get; set; }
}

Before I do this I wanted to know if I could go down the filestream root instead? If so I recon I would have to do some manual config with the MS SQL instance, which is kinda scary since I'm used to EF configuring the DB foe me.

tips friends??
