Hot and warm are always in the same directory, however your cold buckets can be stored in a different location.

This can be configured per index in the indexes.conf file by changing the homePath and coldPath settings.

Take a look at the documentation here:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.0/Indexer/Configureindexstorage

As an alternative on Windows, you can specify that a disk be mounted in a directory, as well as being a separate drive. This means you can keep the default directory structure of Splunk without having to adjust your indexes.conf files, but still browse to the data via drive letter.

Have a look at the following technet article for details on how to do this:

Hot and warm buckets must be on the same drive. Cold can be elsewhere, as can frozen.
