    You can have /home on a separate drive without any problem, it can even be a network drive versus physically attached.

    Format the drive, copy the contents of the current /home, mount the new drive as /home.

    /boot and /var are usually separate for good reason. The short version is: you don’t want to mess up /boot and you don’t want /var to fill up and use up all the space in / if it isn’t separate. Most of the everyday growing/changing data on your machine lives in /var.
