UHS-II & the E-M1 MkII - which card?

Since there have been a number of reports of problems with UHS-II cards in the new camera, I thought I'd try to gather a list of the cards reported to work or not work. There were many reports of problems or successes where there wasn't enough info to be able to identify the card, so the list is fairly short.
Threads where the cards were identified (sorry, I didn't pull out the exact post, these are the starting post):

In most cases I used the B&H website to get the description and manufacturer number.
Please add to the list by identifying your working or non-working card, or adding updates about the cards above as I may have misidentified them or misunderstood the poster.
