Is TRIM enabled on an 2011 15" MBP if I install an aftermarket SSD myself?

Hello-
I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question.
I have a base 15"
If I install an SSD that supports trim into this computer, will it work with TRIM?
Or is that Apple only SSD's?
Thanks!

All the evidence currently says it only works with apple supplied SSD's right now. Everyone hopes this will change, perhaps with lion.

I concur. My aftermarket SSD does not have TRIM support.

Well thank you both of you.
I already have an SSD from my older 2010 model, so i'll just install it and wait till Lion.
Thanks again!

This was disappointing to learn, I got excited when I first saw that 10.6.6 supported TRIM in the new MacBooks, only to find out my Intel SSD still wouldn't get it.
