Hash numbers are the way of the future in ediscovery.  See the above link.

Computer hash is an encryption algorithm that forms the mathematical foundation of e-discovery. Hashing generates a unique alphanumeric value to identify a particular computer file, group of files, or even an entire hard drive. As an example, the hash of the animated GIFF file is shown above. The unique alphanumeric of a computer file is called its “hash value.” Hash is also known in mathematical parlance as the “condensed representation” or “message digest” of the original message. It is more popularly known today as a “digital fingerprint.” Hash is the bedrock of e-discovery because the digital fingerprint guarantees the authenticity of data, and protects it against alteration, either negligent or intentional. Hash also allows for the identification of particular files, and the easy filtration of duplicate documents, a process called “deduplication” that is essential to all e-discovery document processing.
