When in doubt, check IBM:
October 22, 1998
"IBM also announced today Travelstar 6GN, the world's highest capacity 9.5-mm hard drive for ultra-portable computers. The slim and lightweight 6.4 GB Travelstar 6GN sets a new world record in hard drive areal density. It holds the most bits (5.7 billion bits) per square inch of any hard drive.

With a higher areal density, a drive generally is more reliable and lower cost. IBM's microdrive, the world's smallest hard drive announced last month, held the previous world record at 5.1 billion bits per square inch."

Still not sure what the expected limit is...
