 Replication can affect performance as traffic increases to synchronize all copies.

-- For Fixed plans, single-zone and multi-zone replication effectively doubles storage costs
+For both Fixed and Flexible plans, replication doubles the memory limit you need for your database. 
 
-- For Flexible and Annual plans, replication requires additional shards and can affect subscription costs
+For Fixed plans, The size of the plan you choose includes replication. Therefore, if you choose replication, the dataset size you can use is half of the stated plan size. For example, if you choose a 1GB plan, Redis allocates 512 GB for the memory limit, and the other 512 MB for Replication.

-Your actual throughput may not match the throughput you set when you create your database. The following things can affect your database's throughput:
+We assume a typical workload that includes a different mix of commands and an average key and value size of 1KB. Therefore, your actual throughput may be higher or lower than the throughput you set when you create your database. The following properties can affect your database's throughput:
 - **Command complexity**: O(N) and O(log(N)) commands will take more time than O(1) commands, and will affect throughput accordingly.
-- **Key and value sizing**: If your database's keys and values are very large, setting and reading those keys may take more time and affect throughput.
+- **Key and value sizing**: If your database's keys and values are very large, your actual throughput may be lower than expected. If the keys and values are smaller than the typical workload, the actual throughput might be higher than expected.
 - **Replication**: Using [multi-zone replication]({{<relref "rc/databases/configuration/high-availability">}}) affects throughput as each write operation is executed asynchronously in each zone.
+- **Security**: Some security options, such as [transport layer security]({{< relref "/rc/security/database-security/tls-ssl" >}}), may affect throughput.
+- **Number of client connections**: The number of client connections affects throughput. Increasing or decreasing the number of client connections can result in higher or lower throughput.
