Not generally. Moving disks is often to get a bigger drive, in which case you want a bigger filesystem, including more inodes. Using dd and resizing (afaik) does not increase the number of inodes available. I'm typically doing this on RAID1 block devices so duplicating to a new drive (e.g. in case of drive failure) is handled by the RAID layer.
