I did.  Works fine.

You get two warnings from Vmware that state:

The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (usb-storage) on 
the host 
operating system which means that the device may be in use. To continue, the 
device will 
first be disconnected from its current driver.

Click yes to both, and the device is disconnected from Linux and connected to
the guest. 

(The question is asked twice, once for the drive and once for the device and 
once
for the partition apparently).

Soon as you shut down the virtual machine Linux picks up the device again
and it appears in Device Notifier again.
