I don't think you need to set wal_sync_method, comment it out.

What scale factor have you used with pgbench? And how long are the pgbench
runs? The smaller the data set, the more it will be affected by the write
cache.

Scale factor was 1, client count 1, and ran it for 100 seconds. I just wanted to check that the commit rate does not go beyond 120 (7200 rpm HDD).
