    Have you checked the status with RAIDar?  https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar

     

    Also, are you seeing any indications of power?  Any messages on the LCD display?

      When pressing Power Button it blinks for about 30 secs then goes of. Display says Booting Please wait.

      No disk activity during this time however disk LEDS flsh once. Display says Booting Please wait when power LED off. No connection available from RAIDar on MAC

        Try removing the disks with the NAS powered down, and then power up.  You should see a  "no disks" indication on the display and from RAIDar.  Let us know if you see that.

         

        What disks are you using?  Did they come with the NAS, or are they newly purchased?
