Default Moving MySQL into a second hard drive?

I heard that it is better to put the MySQL databases into a second hard drive. Supposedly, putting MySQL in a separate hard drive will improve server speed by reducing I/O bottlenecks. If you have already have existing MySQL databases on the first hard drive, though, how do you go about moving it to a second hard drive? Also, can that be done without having to force people to edit their scripts (ie. will it still use localhost)?
