There is really no such thing as 'moving'. 'moving' is duplicating to another location and then deleting the original....But in 'moving' from one disk to another, it is explicit: in fact you can't 'move' from one disk to another in the UI, you can only duplicate, when you drag a file to a location on another disk.

Actually, in Mac OS X (at least in 10.2.3), Finder will "move" an item across volumes if you press the Command key while dragging. It deletes the original after copying.
