That depends in large part on Windows, not the NAS. If the Windows machine can tell that the two folders are in the same volume, it can do a move.
But if it can't tell, it does a copy/delete. That copy/delete is done over the network - so every file is copied to the PC, and then to the new location. Then deleted when it is finished.
When it does do a move, then there are two more scenarios.
(a) if the folders are in the same share, then the NAS will do a normal (lightening fast) move
(b) If the folders are in different shares, then the NAS will copy them - but this would be a local copy, not over the network.
Agreed, that is a good way.

That sounds right.
