macos - A mac with two hard drives and file vault, what are my options?

I currently have a mac, running Mac OS X, with one hard drive. My home directory is encrypted with FileVault and then I have a /Users/Shared that is not encrypted and is readable by other users (i.e.: my wife).



I'm considering going to a dual hard drive setup to have an SSD as boot (maybe a 40GB drive) while still containing a big disk (500GB) for the rest of the data. That means that now my home would be in a very tiny drive.




What are my options to have a sensible layout? Can I mount the big drive as /Users? Can I move the encrypted image to the other drive? both?
