After a minute the power light blinks and the Drive1, Drive 2 and back light blink but power light first and then the others. Flashing back and forth.
Does the status match one of these patterns:
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code. Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configuration

I have connected the SSDs to my PC and they are working.
That said, your symptoms sound like they might disk-related. Did you run a full disk test?

I tried accessing the NAS through the browser using the IP and get asked for a password that I do not have. I tried 'admin" without a password but it does not work.
The default admin password is "password".
FYI, manuals for your NAS are here:

It's not syncing "on" anything. It's syncing the drive contents to form a RAID. That's necessary, even with empty drives.

In your situation, the RAID would be RAID-1 (mirrored drives). So the NAS is copying one drive to the other during the sync. The RAID array is a virtual disk, which then has the BTRFS file system installed on it. So the sync is agnostic to the file system (and operates the same way on a full volume as it does on an empty one).
