Separate volumes

I was once told that it's best practice to store tables and indexes in
separate tablespaces located on separate physical drives. It seemed logical
that this should improve performance because the read-head wouldn't need to
jump back and forth between a table and its index.

However, I can't seem to find this advice anywhere online. Is it indeed
best practice? Is it worth the hassle?
