John P.,
The MOVE may complete successfully according to Microsoft, but that does NOT mean the file was transferred without corruption. If a verify is used with the MOVE command that might suffice. But apparently some users report files being corrupt after transfer to an external USB drive. It is unclear whether this is or may be true in this case. But it would certainly be prudent to make sure the files are an exact match after the transfer. And unless some sort of verify or hash is done as part of the transfer, one cannot be sure. So IMHO, a verify before deleting the source is still the safer option.
