[Quoted] Sure, there are different ways, not all of them are good.

1. Partitioning http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/partitioning.html
2. Move databases to different location and symlink the database to the default place [Quoted]
3. Move the whole mysql directory to the new device and update configuration so it uses the new location.

Up to you to pick what you want to use, I would at least avoid #2 unless there is no other way.
