I would install the drive and configure it for LVM. Don't add it to
your present volume. Transfer all your data to this new partition and
then mount it under /home This way you now have the drive separate from
the OS. Then if your drive gets full again, you can add a second drive
to this drives LVM.
This is how I prefer to set up my systems.
