I already posted this on stack overflow, but you'll need more machine
than you have to do that.  Specifically you'll need either to go to
SSD hard drives (which have some issues with power loss data
corruption unless you spend the bucks on them with a super capacitor
to make sure their write caches can flush on power loss) or a half
dozen to a dozen or so spinning 15k drives with a battery backed
controller.

I can sustain about 5,000 transactions per second on a machine with 8
cores (2 years old) and 14 15k seagate hard drives.
