RN2120 as a "SAN" for ESXi 5.5 hosts

Do you really need the rackmount form factor? If not e.g. the 314 or better yet the 516 would be a much better choice for this.
If you need a rackmount NAS I would go with the 3220 over the 2120 for this.
There are arguments both ways about NFS vs iSCSI. Whichever way you go it is important that you backup your data if your data is important to you. No important data should be stored on just the one device.
There are some steps you should take to configure the NAS correctly for use as a VM datastore.
