I think the answer to the sudden increase in options volume for WDC is tied to an article appearing in today's New York Times business section. The article notes that interest rates for traders suddenly increased yesterday from about 2% to 4%. The rate increase applies only to large volume, short term trading, not to margin interest, for example. I think it explains the huge volume of contracts.
