Most will require you to just enter your user's password when mounting, that's it. Though, yes, your user has to be in the storage group, otherwise you might not get full read/write access (unless you mount with sudo manually that is), especially if it's a real disk, not a USB drive. Even physical discs comnected over USB usually have no problems with persmissions, but ones connected via SATA or M2, yeah, those can have permission read/write issues (user credentials required).

Also wise, though most distros don't do this: add your local user to the storage and networking groups. Makes setting things up a lot easier. Otherwise, you'd have to use root/sudo to do most of these things.
