ReadyNAS boot failure - pulsing power LED

That code means bad contents on root partition of disks.
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

3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration

Have you tried an OS reinstall via the boot menu?
I would first power down, remove and test the disks using vendor tools. Label the disks according to slot number. When you reinsert them, do so with the power off.
Do you have a backup of the data?
What firmware was running?
Did you have ssh enabled, if so can you ssh in?
