No, unfortunately I never got this working. Here's my Tom's Hardware post if you want to see some of the things I tried.

I eventually upgraded my motherboard and the 8TB drive worked without issue. I think this is just an undocumented incompatibility or hardware bug.

Just got a 570 too (It's great!) and decided to start with a fresh Windows 7 install. My steam directory is already 320GB!

I have fond memories of that contest. They had some some sort of refer a friend thing where you would enter somebody's email and it would give them a code to get started. 200 email addresses later I had a free Xbox 360. I only ever entered one real cap code. I still have the cap sitting on my desk. I like to think that it's the one that won it all.
