   Depends on what you understand by "data". If you mean your user files,   
   then you only need to put the "/home" directory in the second disk. As   
   simple as that. No guide necessary.   
      
   Or it may mean put "/data" directory on second disk. Another interpretation.   
      
   Now, how to achieve this, it depends on what you have already done. To   
   do it from scratch during installation, well, the details depend on what   
   distribution you are using.   
      
   For example, on openSUSE you tell the partitioner to do an offering   
   using the small disk, then modify it to put /home in the other disk.
