It is practically impossible to find even one SHA-256 collision, let alone 420 of them. (Search for SHA256 collision). So you must be doing something wrong. Probably truncating the results when you store them in the database. In any case, checking the hash + file size should be sufficient to eliminate any practical possibility of finding a false positive.
