this is typically the throughput you get with U160 drives. This
should go up to 70 MB/s with U320 drives (YMMV, but this is what
I usually get here with RAID 5 arrays of 3-5 disks). 

Also keep in mind that the 2120S is not a performance monster (the
2200S seems better on this point)

You have to do all the changes in 1 command :

container set cache /read_cache_enable=false /unprotected=true 0
