We have requirement to store about 1 TB to 1.5 TB of image files in TIFF format and provide search functionality  on the basis of metadata. Is it advisable to use SharePoint for such sort of requirement? What would be the performance impact ?
Note : There will be on time upload of image data and there will be no further upload or modification to data.
You can use Sharepoint as a digital asset management system, but for large scale use like you’ve mentioned you would probably expect to do some customization and coding.
I’ve seen a demonstration of Microsoft internal app – where they were using SharePoint to manage and search all of their packaging artwork so it’s capable enough but that was bespoke.
