WD Purple designed to be used in surveillance systems, so it is a compromise between speed vs efficiency/durability.
As for read speed it is about 110 Mb/s (for 1Tb) according to manufacturer. For 3Tb drives it may achive a 140Mb/s.
For WD Blue drives it is about 150 Mb/s. Mine WD Blue (750Gb) reads at range 163 Mb/s.
