This isn't pretty, but it may provide something that works for you:

tell application "Finder"
    try
        set goodHome to first disk whose capacity is 9.9886559232E+10
        set badHome to first disk whose capacity is 8.3889594368E+10
    on error number -1728
        -- missing a disk
    end
end

Of course, you would need the correct capacities of YOUR disks. If the
capacities of the disks are not unique, then perhaps one of these other
Finder properties would differentiate them: comment, creation date,
description, modification date, owner, physical size, size, or URL.

You may also be able to do something with the index of each disk, although
that might depend upon the order in which the disks were mounted.
