Original post:

Spoiler

I've found myself requiring an ID function for floppy disks, thus, here's a suggestion.
A function that returns the unique ID of a disk, pretty much the same as os.computerID()
Can be used to confirm if a disk is the same disk, or merely a copy.

EDIT:
I mean the ID of the save directory (That's the one os.computerID() returns )

TL;DR (Seriusly, WHAT?)
disk.ID( string Side )

I don't like ID functions unless its properly explained on how the ID becomes unique

You should only need to read the metadata of the item
Like how wool has [Wool ID]:[Metadata]
Every edited disk has a custom metadata.
You can see it if u have item ids enabled on NEI

EDIT: (Same as OP)
I ment the ID of the save directory (That's the one os.computerID() returns )
This is unique per disk, and DarkNinja, for users that's fine, but computers can't read metadate (yet)
