Is it free to download it?

I'm logged and I try do download VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-depot.zip in order to integrate a RAID driver, but I cannot download it because the link is greyed.

¿What can I do? Anyone knows why this occurs?

Welcome to the VMware Communities forums.

The depot download for ESXi is part of the vSphere product downloads and you'll require either a valid license or have signed up for an evaluation to download those files.   The install image for the vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi free) only includes the ISO image - https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsphere_hypervis....

You might want to look at ESXi Customizer to integrate the driver into the ISO -  http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html
