Try reaching them via /media or /mnt while they're plugged into mobo using your file manager

To do it without actually getting into root mode, you need some type of advanced group permission system. The infamously hated PolicyKit does this.
However, in the end, the job is always done via root--directly or indirectly.

I won't walk you through a permission layer setup, but generally it's done something like this as root:
mount /dev/sd0 /mnt

This mounts the device as /mnt, where you can read the files on the device.
