Well, you of course can't tell what's on a disk that isn't connected 
unless you have cataloged it first. But if you can connect the drives 
once, you can catalog them and save the catalogs on your boot drive.

I like DiskTracker for that purpose. Once you have cataloged a drive 
(which is very fast to do) the searches of the catalog are remarkably 
fast.

Another one that may be even nicer is CDFinder. You can find both at 
MacUpdate.com.
