For a symbolic link you will need first to attach the other disk. After that copy the media folder to the new disk:
cp -r /path/to/media /mnt/new/drive
Rename media folder:
mv /path/to/media /path/to/oldmedia
Create symlink to new destination
ln -s /mnt/new/drive/media /path/to/media
Check that everything is fine, add some new pictures, verify they are created at new destination. Then delete old media folder
rm -rf /path/to/oldmedia

Yes, you copymediafolder to the other drive./mnt/new/driveis just a sample path where your drive is mounted. And/path/to/mediais the sample path to media folder inside your Magento root. You should substitute them with real paths.
