No, don't do that!  You should NOT be in group 'disk', since that also
gives write access to the raw hard drive partitions!!!  The better
solution is to take yourself out of group disk, and then edit
the /etc/udev configuration so that the device is created with a
different group ownership, perhaps 'floppy' or 'cdrom'.
