Mount your second hdd as /home
(before this make copy all from /home folder)

PS: RAID better than your idea use two hdd as different ;-)

can you please elaborate this process it is request

* copy all files from /home to for example /root
* delete all files and folders in /home
* make partition and mount as /home

if partition ready, then simple mount /dev/sd(b or your letter) /home

* and you need add in /etc/fstab record about your hdd and new home partition or every reboot you need mount /home again

i appreciate your hard work honestly but i unable to catch your points.Is there any way to simplify this process overall my need is using 2nd hard drive as i install vesta cp first time so there is not imported data on both drives.I know that my question and reply are very basic and maybe bother you but please bear it.... I have no other solution to solve this issue

with RAID-1 it is possible i can use 2nd hard drive i can utilize 2 TB in terms of unique not mirror ?

Nope )
with raid-1 you will have 1TB space and stability if you one of hdd broken you don't miss data
