I found this Toshiba announcement about their new mSATA SSDs, typically the ones found in the MacBook Air.
It looks like you can fit at least 40 of them in a standard 5¼" drive bay, provided you get the proper SAS expander cables or rather the proper back panel.

That's a whooping 10-12TB in a single 5¼" bay, 5-6TB in a 3½" bay! Anybody tempted? :D
These modules are available only to OEMs so far, but even so, I guess they're too pricy for most netbooks yet.
I wonder why Toshiba hasn't entered the notebook 2½" SSD market.
 
Sorry, my bad, I meant the retail market, as opposed to the OEM market I mentioned in the sentence before.
