integrating new SATA drive into system

[Leocifre]

I have bought a new SATA harddisk. When keeping my original configuration, can I use a partition on my new drive as /home? How can I migrate my existing /home to the new drive?

I have tried copying all files in /home to the new drive, then mounting it as /home but I somehow have no write access as normal user, that is no write access in my home folder.

Otherwise, are there any special tools I need in order to configure the drive? I noticed it only copied at ~20MB/s, but hdparm does not seem to work on it.

Thanks for help
