I think you'll find it hard to distribute different segments between disks, as they are typically stored in the same directory.
However, instantiating separate cores on different disks should be straight-forward enough, and would give you a performance benefit. I've certainly heard of that done at Amazon, with a separate EBS volume per core giving some performance improvement.
