Some users may want to locate the InnoDB
tablespace files in a different location than the MySQL server
data directory. Placing the tablespace files in a separate
location can be desirable if your system has a higher capacity
or higher performance storage device available, such as a RAID
storage system.
To change the default location for the InnoDB
tablespace files, choose a new drive from the drop-down list of
drive letters and choose a new path from the drop-down list of
paths. To create a custom path, click the
... button.
If you are modifying the configuration of an existing server, you must click the Modify button before you change the path. In this situation you must move the existing tablespace files to the new location manually before starting the server.
