There are situations where you can split up databases on several
file groups, and for instance have non-clustered index on a separate
volume. Note that if you relocate the clustered index, you relocate
the data as well.
But this should only be done if you have a clear understand of what you
win. None of our customer's databases have more than the two files
each database is born with. (And thus only one file group.)

It's a good idea to run DBCC DBREINDEX on your tables, if they tend
to fragment. Whether they fragment, can be concluded by using
DBCC SHOWCONTIG.
