ESXi really only needs about 5.2GB.  This will allow for the creation of the scratch partition as well.

Hello.

Check out http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026500 for info on the requirements.

Good Luck!

I use 6 GB, but you need ~ 1 GB for the firmware and clients, and ~ 4 GB for the scratch partition.

As has been noted, about 5 GB will be enough. See this if you are interested in the partitions the ESXi hypervisor creates and their function:
