How to Move Original Files to External Drive, Not just copy and delete original

[poobarreled]

Ok so I've looked at some other posts that have gone over how to move files to an external drive, and they all say to use command while moving.

I understand this copies the file and deletes the original, but when you make a copy and delete the original, you lose some of the original data, such as creation date, etc... This makes storage and organization more complicated than it has to be.

Any ways to move original files without copying and deleting the original?

I just used the Command Click method and all my files retained their original modified, created, etc date information.

How about simply using the move command from the CLI? (mv)

No, it shouldn't and it's not been my experience that the modification date changes.
