    Oddly I just got done with a project that has the answer to this: DiskArbitration.framework. Specifically you should probably setup a DADiskAppearedCallback (this will get both new and existing object) and then call DADiskCopyDescription on the disk objects that come back. You can even filter by a number of things, and that might work for you. I filtered out everything that was not internal, non-ejectable, and mountable.
