Are you sure? If I look at the AX dedicated server page, I can read that the basic support is free:

"Basic support includes the free replacement of defective hardware and the renewed loading of the basic system (in so far as a disk image system can be loaded)."

They’ll replace the drive for free - but likely with another used disk with quite some hours of runtime under its belt. If you want a new disk you need to pony up most of the time.
