It depends on message size and if messages are published as persistent
but with commonly small messages (<= 1Kb), 15K/second
can be achieved with a single node, a single queue, and  modest hardware.

You likely won't need an SSD, and SSD won't make any difference if you publish
messages as transient.

But don't take my word for it, run your own benchmarks. There is a tool
for that: http://www.rabbitmq.com/java-tools.html

(and a couple of alternatives on GitHub, too)
